  • Page 5: Introduction

    1.2 Overview The TC-MIDI series was designed specifically for high cooling capacities and high ambient temperatures. The TC-MIDI+ series was designed specifically for the requirements in so-called automated measuring systems (AMS) according to EN 15267-3. The series connection of the heat exchangers will cool in two cycles to minimise wash out effects.
